What is the format of the license key for the S9700 Series Switch?

S9700 license keys are alphanumeric strings formatted as 16 pairs separated by hyphens (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx) and tied to the switch’s serial number.

How do I migrate licenses when replacing hardware in the S9700 Series?

Deactivate the license using license uninstall , retrieve the activation code, then install the code on the new switch and reboot to complete migration.

S9700 Base and Advanced Feature Licenses are perpetual by default; subscription-based options are available with defined term periods and require renewal.

Is downtime required to apply a new license on the S9700 Series Switch?

Installing a license requires a single reboot, but active traffic is maintained until the reboot command is executed, minimizing service impact.

How do I purchase additional S9700 Series Switch licenses?

Contact an authorized vendor or Huawei sales representative, specify the switch serial number and desired license SKU, and complete the purchase order.

Can I renew my Data Center Advanced License online?

Yes. Use the Huawei licensing portal to submit renewal requests, enter your serial number and current license ID, and complete the transaction electronically.

What should I do if license activation fails on my S9700 switch?

Verify license file integrity, ensure the switch’s serial number matches the license, check system time synchronization, and retry installation; contact support if issues persist.

Use system-view commands: copy license flash:/ tftp:/// to back up and reverse the command to restore, then reboot.

Can I share licenses between multiple S9700 switches?

No. S9700 Series licenses are node-locked and tied to each switch’s serial number; floating or pooled licenses are not supported.

How do I view detailed usage reports for my S9700 Series licenses?

Enable license statistics with the command license statistics enable, then run display license statistics to generate feature usage and resource consumption reports.

What software version is required for my S9700 Series licenses?

Ensure your switch runs a minimum firmware version compatible with your license tier; refer to the Huawei release notes for specific S9700 software and license compatibility matrix.
